Hey girls!

I'm exactly the same as u cleck, I mean I know I've gained (a lot!!) weight, but I don't feel it until I see a pic of myself! I gained easily 4 maybe 5 stone when and after my pregnancy, it affected me so bad that I was in antidepressants for a while, my doctor laughed when u asked him for a gastric band, but id have one tomorrow if I could! I'd like to be around 7-8 stone, but that's never happening again!

Heidi I cannot wait to see pics if lily, caylee is just amazing and I can just imagine how beautiful they will be together!

Congrats to u pip, I envy u!!lol! I was hoping for my BFP last month, but the witch came and peed me off royaly lol! Hoping this is the month! Lots of babydancing going on here! We planned in tryin in September so anything before then is a bonus really! I can't wait though, I would love love loveeeeeee another girl, although I would love a boy equally! A healthy baby is what matters untie end!

Well kara is starting daycare September 13th, for three days a week 1.30pm - 6pm, it's such a beautiful nursery, ofstead rated it excellent too which is fab! I'm so excited for her, I know she will LOVE it!

She's been walking for a while now since June actually, so she's perfected it now:thumbsup: she's saying a few words too, mum, dad, nana, grandad, dog, bot bot! She's also in her toddler bed now too, which us amazing! She hated her cot and NEVER slept in it, we could not get her out if our bed, but since the toddler bed we've had our bed all to ourself, which helps soooo much with TTC lol!

Other news, our 5 month old cocker spaniel broke his leg last week, and it's cost us a fortune, £3000 already he's had to have pins in his leg and everything which is awful, I feel so sorry for him, he's on bed rest in his crate which I hate cos kara wants to play with him lol! He knocks her over with his cone head which is quite funny, she's learned to run when she sees him coming now lol!

Anyway sorry if I've missed people off, I have been reading guys! Happy birthday to everyone I missed and all those to come! And hope mylo's christening goes perfect tsia! Lovely cake!

I should get going now got some :babydance: to do lol! Xxxxxx

I forgot to say before that Emma is now taking her daytime naps in her big girl bed. I feed her to sleep and than ease out to let her nap. Although today I laid beside her and played on the laptop. I didn't do the cupcake bedding set because I saw this and fell in love. But now I want to figure out how to decorate the wall without having to paint it. Maybe some bright colored cupcake decals! I just have to do some searching.

lol nutty people use it as an excuse!i have a big rib cage too lol! and wide hips, and shoulders i always have even when im small i look odd cus i have a big frame, i have size 8feet and im 5ft 9'' so i do just have a big skeleton, LOL

xxx

 

[cleckner04]

I'm the same as you 2. Big frame. I remember a science teacher saying that we all have the same size skeleton under our skin, fat and muscle, and I flipped out at him telling him there is no way in hell that is possible. I can't believe a TEACHER is allowed to spout out stupid stuff like that. Clearly I'm not the same size skeleton as a 5'2" woman who wears a size 1. I don't know the size differences with UK and US sizes but the smallest size I could ever fit in is an 8. My hips are just way too big. I'd be happy to be in a 12 TBH. I've noticed many foreign people while visiting the zoo. Lot's have been from the UK, some from Europe, ALL are skinny. They are all SO thin. And I can always spot them because they wear the tightest skinny jeans with sandals and weird tops. I think the US just breeds big people.

Edit: I just looked it up and a size 8 would be a UK size 10, a 10 would be a UK size 12, etc.

 

[Boothh]

i thought a size 8 would be a size 12? i know that a size 0 in america is a size 4 in uk? x

 

[Mary Jo]

yeah, you're right, Booth, a US 12 would be a UK 16.

[cleckner04]

I've googled at 2 different places now and both say the same thing.

Well every site I've looked at so far has the exact same chart. Guess we'll agree to disagree on this one. I've looked at 5 sites so far.

 

[Mary Jo]

Heh, I'm not arguing because it is years since I had need to look up the conversion, but that is how I remember it from the late 80s/early 90s. I guess it may have changed or maybe we vanity size more? Definitely when I read Sweet Valley High in about 1988 a us 6 was a uk 10

 

[cleckner04]

Sweet valley high. I used to read those books.

 

[Boothh]

oh i dont know then in magazines here it always says sucha celb is a us size blah uk size blah and its always 2 sizes different? maybe they just tell us different things LOL

are you excited for tomorrow mj ? xxx

 

[ashnbump]

well i have absolutely no idea about sizes these days, the only thing i know is i dont like mine and thats all i need to know haha

need to see lots of birthday pics girls, i dodnt take harldy any of the gardne and house all decorated because i was sooooooooo busy! wish i had done now i'll have to make up for it next year if Kara's not a big sister by then lol!

Cleck i LOVE that bedding! I really want to re do Kara's room, all pink and grown up, but David says we should wait until we find out if baby to be is a boy or girl first, as they will have to share a room unless we find a bigger house!

[Boothh]

ash we have done jesses room jungle, our next baby and jesse will have to share for a couple of years until we can afford to buy, his room is jungle atm if we have another baby i dont think jungle is too boyish if we have a girl though they will have a side each so obviously if we have a girl she will have all pinky stuff over her side anyway x

 

[cleckner04]

Ash- If I were you, I'd just decorate up a corner in all pink colors like around her bed or something! Than you can give the next baby his/her own corner as well! I see no reason to stick with neutral colors when you can just decorate the opposite side of the room in a different color. Just like Boothh said!!
